Timeline of Scottish History

History of Scotland

Our ongoing history of Scotland that chronicles the events in Scotland over the past million years with a special focus on the last thousand as you might expect. We have also digitised a copy of Patrick Tytler's History of Scotland which is an eccentric but wonderfully written history of the the mediaeval years in Scotland. The project of chronicling Scotland's history is ongoing, as is the process of organising and structuring and linking the pages together.

Subcategories

A series of articles that chronicles Scotland's history through the ages right up to the present day. Articles provide a summary overview of our history and also link to useful and interesting external resources for even more information.

Patrick Tytler's History of Scotland is a wonderful rhetorical tale of Scotland filled with anecdote and detail of the Middle Ages and Scotland's great battles for survival and freedom. The text of the book is not available online in readable form and so we are slowly transcribing it for visitors to the site.

In the next part of the project we will cross reference it with other titles to enable enthusiasts of Scottish history to enjoy the varied interpretations of our past.
